According to that dad, he is only attacking from behind. He was probably standing behind the cameramen all the time, punching them, causing bruises that will make those guys not want to attend hockey games anymore.

if only he would he would punch, milbery, emeric, and regis. maybe they woulden't go to anymore games.

I agree with all of that.

YES. I've always said I fear a Chow more than a pit. Man I have come across some mean Chows.

A neighbor of mine had a chow named Bear. He was a mean son of a bitch. They got rid of him because they were having a newborn.

A neighbor of mine had a chow named Bear. He was a mean son of a *****. They got rid of him because they were having a newborn.

From the What a Coincidence Department: My old roommate (many years ago) also had a chow named Bear. Bit me four different times. I bit him back. Mean, ornery cuss, that dog.

Gritty clearly got to them.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Flyers mascot Gritty cleared of alleged assault

 

[kudymen]

First thing Gritty did: running to that guy's house and smacking him in the back full speed, just like he allegedly did to the kid.

 

[Jtown]

I'd pay for a photo of Gritty punching me.

That’s the beauty of Gritty. You will never have to pay

 

[gertbfrobe16]

Gritty clearly got to them.

Quid pro Quo gritty.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Philadelphia Police have cleared Gritty of all wrong doing.

To clarify, they determined that Gritty did sprint-punch the kid, but that he was correct to do so.

I just realized the thread for this incident on the main boards was started by nj devlolz, in a weak attempt to dunk on flyers fans. Too bad no one took his bait, he must be upset no one started blasted the team along with him

 

[Flybynite]

Quid pro Quo gritty.

I guess it is the week for freakishly looking orange things to get acquitted.

 

[Lord Defect]

First thing Gritty did: running to that guy's house and smacking him in the back full speed, just like he allegedly did to the kid.

He took full advantage of double jeopardy, and then challenged him to double dare.

 

[Lord Defect]

I guess it is the week for freakishly looking orange things to get acquitted.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m just glad the Philadelphia Police Department never revealed Gritty’s true identity.

I kind of want gritty to counter sue, as gritty.

amen. can't wait for the next shit show.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

saw on the news, someone posted on twitter that gritty won the iowa caucas.

 

[prototypical4thliner]

To clarify, they determined that Gritty did sprint-punch the kid, but that he was correct to do so.

See, I was hoping that there was legal precedent for slander and that gritty could clothesline the kid as a publicity stunt.

Guys! It's been long enough that stories are starting to come out. Let it be forever remembered: Holmer had a large part in the name of our beloved ball of stringy fur.

During a meeting with the Flyers’ development team, the group asked Holmgren for attributes he associates with the franchise. He mentioned grit, and the name was born.

Also, nightmare fuel:

At one point, a Gritty illustration featured wings. That meant another batch of sketches for the Flyers to evaluate, roughly six more drawings Allen estimated, to account for different options, ranging from feathered wings to insect wings.

A “party trick” the Flyers initially considered was getting smoke to come out of Gritty’s ears like an old-school cartoon whenever he was upset, such as when an opponent scored. Dayton created a rig for the suit, but after a couple of trial runs with the complicated setup, the smoke dispersed too slowly to create the image the Flyers wanted, so they ditched the idea.

Gritty's epic journey: How he's disrupted the mascot world...

There were some moments of hesitation at first, but now I know, as I have long known: I would die for Gritty.
